Recycle Right

Green Industries SA and KESAB environmental solutions have partnered to deliver a new service which assists householders by providing localised and responsive answers to recycling and waste management questions.

Sustain Me - is a youth social enterprise that has developed the Sustain Me app - a free tool, available from Google Play and the App Store.

While at university, two students came up with a plan to answer people's recycling questions through a free mobile application, Sustain Me, which was launched nationally in March 2016.

The app allows people to put their address into the phone to get locally relevant information. This would enable the provision of extensive information on what products can be recycled, how much the user had recycled so far, and can also be used as a reminder to put the bin out through the use of an alarm.

Easter 2017 collections

Good Friday is the only day impacted by the Easter break. If your collections normally take place on Friday, collection will take place on Easter Saturday instead. Green Waste scheduled for Saturday will be collected as usual.
